I had Cucamelons last year, grown in pots. They produced very well, and were a source of much conversation, but I decided against planting them...
I should read up on berry cane care, if I remember.
Not much doing in the garden today. We're slowly phasing the 2015 garden out. Today I took out the runner beans and one small patch of beets. Our...
I did nothing in the garden today. Thursday evening, I scattered either straw or hay over a newly layered section. If it's hay, the seeds will...
Netty, you must get rain when Michigan does, right? This is what I do to protect against vine borers. I dig back about an inch to half an inch of...
Netty, I so wish everyone had sufficient rain. Iwonder if container gardening requires less water? I used a few 18 ( I think )gallon containers...
Toni, I hesitate to say what a beautiful rain we had last evening. I very much wish we could share with you. I haven't done much in the garden...

Sjoerd, I wonder where your journey will take you? Color me green. I love travel. Carolyn, that sounds like more than enough work for a day....
Sorry, I haven't been online much lately. Mart, the cantaloupe are larger than a baseball, but smaller than a football. I think two may ripen.
Our volunteer cantaloupes probably won't ripen before frost. They're nowhere near big enough.
My red onions were very small. They just didn't grow.
No gardening this day.
Sjoerd, this year I grew red onions. Then I read that they don't grow well in Michigan. Next year, I plan to grow yellow onions. Nice to have you...
Carolyn, the groundhog I understand, but baby bunnies? Oh, I know, but they're SO adorable. Still, you are a farmer, and all is fair when food is...
Glad I'm not alone in confusion. :eek:
One good thing about lots of Cosmos, Goldfinch eat the seeds with gusto. My garden experience today involved a surprise. We bury our peelings,...
Marlin, if the man who sold me the seed potatoes hadn't told me, I wouldn't know the difference. I have grown Pontiac Reds with fair return. I...
It appears we must rename this topic. "What are your most-used- garden Tools?" Like Eileen and 2ofus, I would be hard pressed to garden without...
